Logos We Love Right Now

Isn't it a treat when you come across a smart, creative and memorable logo? The creative team at Mitchell Communications certainly thinks so. We love not only designing branding for our clients, but also spotting trends and examples worth sharing. With that, here are a few of our running favorites from the industry.

This is a type-driven logo that incorporates a nice standalone icon with the lightning bolt. According to the designing agency, Attik, the logo was created to project a playful, optimistic and handmade spirit, emphasizing that experts at Experticity are simply people who want to help other people get the most out of something.

{3} Tesla

Tesla is a company that designs, manufacturers and sells high-performance, electric cars and components. It's a brand that exudes simplicity - along with luxury. Pradco Studio honored the brand by designing this timeless logo. The stylish "T" has a strong and protective look. It's a solid and reliable icon for a brand that's thrusting its industry forward.

{4} Motion Theater

This gem was created by a student in Germany, proving that beautiful and intelligent logos can be found in many places. This logo was designed to interact with its surroundings. Animated logos are a current trend, so watch for more of this moving forward. The approach to the Motion Theater logo and the movement of the lines makes a perfect design choice for dancers. It has it all: geometric angles, animation, simplicity, and opportunity for a wide range of uses.

{5} One&One

The one&one logo makes clever use of negative space in a manner that is balanced, subtle, and memorable. It was designed by their in-house team.

{6} Amazeum

The Amazeum is a museum for children and families coming soon to Northwest Arkansas, so the brand is a local favorite for us. We've been blessed to have a hand in some of the public relations efforts, and we adore the colorful and fun logo designed by Adair Creative.

{7} Samuel U. Rodgers

This logo was created by a design firm in Kansas City called Willoughby. We appreciate how the design goes far beyond a single branding element. According to the firm, this is a multicultural brand identity and way-finding system for the Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center. It bridges language barriers through a universal symbol system, which is featured on the image on the right. Beautifully executed in our opinion.

{8} Talkmore

What a simple, yet effective logo created by a graphic designer out of Birmingham UK. The Talkmore logo uses elements of typography, such as quotation marks, as design elements within the name. It's perfectly suited for a brand of mobile phones and mobile phone accessories. We love the clever way the brand icons are used throughout the campaign. A sample business card is on the right.

Responsive logos are becoming mandatory in today's digital environment. This image from Fast Company Design shows several great examples of top brands that have developed dynamic logos. They have managed to keep the essence of the brand in tact by prioritizing the right design elements as the logo gets smaller.
